G     D              Em  C 
I got me a brand new car waiting in the driveway
G       D                 Em          C                    G
Shinin’ like a bright new star I been wishin’ on it everyday
             Em      C
To take me away from here
G           D             Em   C
So I called in to where I work told a little white lie
G     D                 Em       C             G
No my back don’t really hurt but that’s my alibi
             Em                     C
My temporary ticket to anywhere but there
Em                       C
Call it an early weekend call it goin’ off the deep end
D
Call it what you want I made up my mind…

(chorus)

G                  D
I don’t have to be me till Monday
Em        C
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
G             D         C
I ain’t gonna face reality
G                  D
Three days without punching a time clock
Em              C
Three nights of goin’ non stop
G  D            C
No work and all play
                  D             G
I don’t have to be me, till Monday


      G     D               Em  C
Yeah, I can do what I wanna do, be who I wanna be
G        D             Em    C                   G
I got no one to answer to as soon as I turn the key
       D             Em                  C
A cash machine, gasoline and we’re outta here
Em                       C
Call it an early weekend call it goin’ off the deep end
D
Baby you and me we can leave it all behind…

(repeat chorus)


(outro)

    G                  D
Oh……Three days without punching a time clock
Em              C
Three nights of goin’ non stop
G  D            C
No work and all play
                   D
I don’t have to be me, till Monday


G                  D            Em  C
I don’t have to be me, till Monday
G                  D            Em  C
I don’t have to be me, till Monday
G                  D  Em
I don’t have to be me, till Monday
